i think the internet does an amazing job of communicating science. one of the things i learned last summer was preparing to do a presentation at a convention of science museums with sound statistics about how americans understanding of science has changed over the last 30 years. there's a guy at northwestern and john miller his entire specialty is studying public understanding of science and sociology and he's been doing this for 30 or 40 years and in 1988, he found that tempers and of americans understood science well enough to understand what they read in "the new york times" science section. he did the same survey in two name and the number actually gone up to 20% of americans could now wonders and "the new york times" science section. there's a possibility that has to do with the site section getting dumber, but i kind of like to think it has to do with how we communicate science changing. 30 years ago the only place you would read about a new paper was then a newspaper, which has a specific talent to the way they write. he had very specific audi

>> guest: umm, i'll start again with science and innovation. and i'm deeply worried about the budget cuts that were proposed by the house on basic science, research, and diswoment for all kinds of agencies. it's the wrong way to go. we absolutely need to begin investing and continue to invest as the administration did in the first two years the administration with the congress agreed with them. to invest in many of these important cutting edge industries. and i think we have to do that and trying to cut everything to so we can increase defense spending and increase taxes for the wealthy doesn't make sense to me. there's a huge philosophical difference, obviously. i think the other part that is important getting back to cybersecurity. one of the investment is in the smart grid. our power infrastructure is very, very vulnerable to cyberattacks. that takes the kind of investment we need from darp pa -- darpa collaborative efforts to protect our infrastructure and also make it more effective and efficient and, you know, cut power costs and cut, you
